Under the Theme-options > Sidebar you’re able to create an extra widget area for a page and / or category.

I need a specific sidebar on the frontpage.

So I created one for the page I had set as Home (Theme options > Frontpage settings). But that doesn’t seem to work on the homepage. (It does work when you explicitly navigate to that page, by entering the full url site.com/my-home-page, but not the default Home page site.com/)

Is this a bug or did I oversee something, or must I take another approach?
